function:Nucleolin is the major nucleolar protein of growing eukaryotic cells. It is found associated with intranucleolar chromatin and pre-ribosomal particles. It induces chromatin decondensation by binding to histone H1. It is thought to play a role in pre-rRNA transcription and ribosome assembly. May play a role in the process of transcriptional elongation. Binds RNA oligonucleotides with 5'-UUAGGG-3' repeats more tightly than the telomeric single-stranded DNA 5'-TTAGGG-3' repeats.,sequence caution:Unlikely isoform. Aberrant splice sites.,similarity:Contains 4 RRM (RNA recognition motif) domains.,subunit:Interacts with APTX and NSUN2. Component of the SWAP complex that consists of NPM1, NCL/nucleolin, PARP1 and SWAP70. Component of a complex which is at least composed of HTATSF1/Tat-SF1, the P-TEFb complex components CDK9 and CCNT1, RNA polymerase II, SUPT5H, and NCL/nucleolin.,
Nucleus, nucleolus. Cytoplasm. Localized in cytoplasmic mRNP granules containing untranslated mRNAs.
